Journal Mapping Tutorial

This is my tutorial to contribute to the sweep of spring tutorials my Art Spark group is doing this week.

Next week at Artfest I will be teaching some journal mapping techniques, which will also be in my upcoming book, Personal Geographies: Explorations in Mixed-Media Mapmaking (Nov, 2011, North Light). Here is a small tutorial on a technique I call “Street Mapping”, and I am finishing up a journal I made at Journalfest.

This type of journal is a technique I teach called “Spontaneous Deconstructed Journal“, which is a flat page journal that is bound after the pages are finalized. I make these for specific trips and events.
Enjoy!

The book came in the mail a week or so ago and just loving your “personal geographies” book. Always been fascinated by the combination of maps/stories, personal and fantastical. Love the historical tidbits and the range of ideas…so very rich. Thanks so much for sharing your curiosity. Looking forward to delving in.
